    It occurs to me that brown robes are very useful for the same reason the red shirt was to the brave pirate captain of old.

          I don’t think you caught the joke. At least I don’t think women have any sort of blue colored bodily fluids.

            I am pretty sure, and all those feminine hygeine commercials gonna back me up on this, that BLUE is PRECISELY the color on the body fluids in question.

            Also ecru colored dunce caps for not-getting-that-the-joke’s-been-hijacked of olde…

              I concur. Blue is standard bodily fluid for women.

      I believe the approved outfit is red shirt and brown trousers.

    For a moment I thought that was Frigg. After the first panel I thought: ‘Come on Scipio, this has gone on for long enough’.

          For some reason it just hit me that Scipio’s got a serious Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name vibe going on… I think it took so long ’cause Scip’s built like a brick sh*thouse, and Clint was a (totally hawt) scrawny thang in, for example, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

    Is it just me, or does every cultist EXCEPT brother Tom tend to talk like they’re an internet lol-troll?
    It would sure explain a lot.

    Now, this is actually very interesting! And brings up a question I had in the back of my mind over the last chapter.

    We know now that Scipio’s and E-merl’s players know each other, IRL, and they know Rachel’s player IRL. Rachel was present at the battle of the Beast, as we all know, and she died there. And yet, there’s no apparent OOC knowledge. Lia has absolutely no knowledge of how her character was deleted, nor even, as far as we can tell, how Rachel died or what she was doing prior to her death. Just logged on one day to find her character gone.

    I’m supporting this based only on her apparently not telling her comrades (or Hurricane Support) anything about it, since you’d think running into some neon motherfucker from “Cyberia,” and battling a digital eldritch horror, would raise some major red flags. Especially among Lia, who has real-world knowledge of cyberpunk and real-world knowledge of Hurricane’s “Escape From Cyberia.” Those two would definitely be the sort of thing you’d talk about when trying to investigate why your character suddenly got deleted… if you had witnessed it. While the group members could just be enforcing in-character knowledge by not telling each other of their exploits except when they meet in-character, given the circumstances they’d be forgiven for breaking character amongst themselves.

    To get to the point, I wonder how much control The Four (not to be confused with The Five, Minus Payet Best) really have over their characters, and I wonder what Scipio, E-Merl, Rachel, and Bandit might be getting up to when their players are not logged on. It could have been assumed that the characters simply “slept” or were otherwise indisposed when their players had logged off for the evening, but it seems they’re getting on with their adventures with or without their players. In Rachel’s case it ended in tragedy.
